Interior Horizon CD Project

Members of MITRA Youth Buddhist Network in co-ordination with various Sydney recording artists/musicians have been working on a CD project entitled " The Interior Horizon" showcasing contemporary music with a message of peace, wisdom and compassion. From the outset it was the idea of the project co-ordinator, Yulianto Lukito, to donate the proceeds of the CD sales to an AIDS related charity organisation.

Mitra has decided that we would like to give 50% of all the proceeds from sales to AIDS Trust Australia's 'HOPE FOR CHILDREN' campaign to help orphans in Cambodia. See www.hfcorphanage.com for more details on the Activities of HFC.
